Step 2. On the ECRT Home Page, click the link that says: View Effort Card

Step 3.To certify your effort:

Compare the required effort with the numbers in the Computed Effort/Certified Effort columns of the statement.

For each sponsored project:

If your contributed effort for any sponsored project differs from the number in the Computed Effort/Certified Effort columns by five percentage points or more, over-write the amount in the Certified Effort column by entering your estimate of the actual effort percentage for that project in the Certified Effort column (yellow highlight added for emphasis).
